This kitchen quarrel is the most important scene in "crazy love". It's not because it connects the ending of the story, but because it shows the core of the movie.
In fact, both Jacob and Anna still love each other deeply - Jacob keeps flying to London and making unremitting efforts. Facing Sam's love, he still tries to get close to Anna; Anna will still be jealous, uneasy and miss, so that when Jacob accidentally tears off her bracelet, she will almost collapse.
Their love is so hot that it consumes almost all their energy. Even though they are separated from each other by the Atlantic Ocean, they are still trying to get close to each other. Their physical fatigue has gradually evolved into mental fatigue. They even have no strength to quarrel, and they have gradually forgotten their goal and destination.
So, what are they doing?
If you choose to give up, things will be easier. Anna and Simon set up their lives in London, while Jacob and Sam run their furniture studio. They smile and end up in the world; If you choose to give up, life will become more relaxed. Jacob doesn't need to constantly travel between the two cities, and Anna doesn't need to beg for a visa; If you choose to give up, will your life become smoother? Anna can go all out for her career as a journalist, and Jacob can concentrate on designing furniture and expanding his business
Every sense in my mind is yelling, they should give up. They still love each other, but they have begun to hate each other.
People always think that love and hate are irreconcilable opposites, but in a trance, they wake up. In fact, they are one and two sides of things. They are fused and indistinguishable. The deeper you love, the deeper you hate, and the harder it is to love. When love and hatred have been integrated, what is the support for them to continue?
This is the theme of "crazy love": Anna and Jacob still love each other deeply, but they also have people to accompany them, so how should they choose? Choose love or company? Or is the essence of love passion or company?
The quarrel in this play needs not only tension and sparks, but also complicated emotional changes. There are too many emotions hidden in every line and every look. However, in the performance just now, lanli and felicity were obviously not able to do their best.
Langley was well aware of the difficulty of the play.
In the last life, the play was not well done. The two leading actors did not perform well, and their lines and emotions were not in place. They just showed the contradiction between the two people, but did not show each other's inner hesitation, fetters and confrontation, let alone the contradiction between love and hatred, which weakened the power of emotion.
However, this time, Drake had a higher expectation for the film. The high-quality shooting before dug out the deep connotation of the script. After enough accumulation of emotion, he reached the critical point of qualitative change. Therefore, he naturally expected the two actors to perform better, detonating all the chemical reactions, and pushing the whole film to a new height.
Lanli's condition is not very good, this is unprecedented, the first time.
Lanli's delicate grasp of emotion is not enough. What kind of mentality is Jacob? Is there any emotion beyond his colleagues between him and Sam? In the face of Anna's questioning, is he more guilty or angry; In the face of Anna's suspicions, what kind of mood is he, not to mention the fishy relationship between Anna and Simon, what is the change of his mentality.
If Lan Li's own understanding is not complete, how can it be deduced?
So far, the three works, including all the previous shooting of "crazy love", have no such feeling. It seems that this is the first time he has encountered a bottleneck in acting? Or is this not a bottleneck, just a jam? After all, every actor's state fluctuates more or less.
Lanli tried to clear his mind, but found that it was not an easy thing. His orderly brain seemed to be in chaos before“ Or is that how Jacob felt? " Lan Li seriously thought about it, but found that the train of thought was still blocked, and it couldn't be explained at all. This kind of feeling was really bad. Lan Li couldn't help getting upset.
"Lan Li, can we talk about it?" Felicity called out the blue Li who got up, "I don't feel good, really bad."
Felicity honestly said that in the scene just now, if the performance of Langley was flawed and unsatisfactory, then her performance was terrible. Her lines are just like wandering in the sky. Her performance is so rigid and simple that it's incredible. Not to mention her spirituality, even her basic skills have disappeared completely, which makes people unable to look directly at her.
Felicity felt that she had no way to sort out such a complex emotion. She had no way to feel Anna's emotion, let alone resonance. Therefore, she needed to have a talk with Langley. It's not only because she's her partner, but also because she's a great actor - a better actor than she is.
Blue Li can't help rubbing his temples. "Yes, but... I need to talk to Drake first. If you like, we can work together." Lan Li showed a wry smile. "I'm a little confused now. Talking may solve some problems."
"Ha. It's the same here. " Felicity couldn't help laughing. "I'll go with you to find Drake."
The two men came to the monitor, and Drake was reexamining the scene. It must be admitted that the play is still average. For Drake's previous standards, it can be used and put on the big screen; But after this period of high-level edification and exercise, Drake's vision has also risen. Naturally, he can no longer meet such a high level of performance. He needs more things.
"Drake." Langley interrupted Drake's re look and directly asked, "nothing happened between Jacob and Sam these days, right?"
If it is before, Lan Li's words are with a firm affirmation, but today it has become a question. Derek can also feel that Langley is not in the state, but he did not ask too much, directly nodded to confirm, "yes, after Jacob and Anna married, nothing happened between him and Sam." Is this Jacob's story or Drake's story?
Langley nodded meaningfully. That's why Jacob was so angry and upset. But the more terrible thing is that Jacob realized that the bond of trust between him and Anna had been cut off, and they began to doubt each other. Behind the quarrel, there was a more cruel reality.
Jacob knew, even if he convinced Anna, so what? It's only temporary. In the future, a phone call, a look or a small matter may detonate the suppressed doubt again.
"So what really happened between Anna and Simon, right?" Felicity is not sure. After receiving Drake's affirmative reply, felicity is silent. Now she knows Anna's inner uneasiness. Not only because of Jacob and Sam, but also because of her betrayal, she began to question herself, began to annoy herself, and even began to hate herself, but she did not know what to do.
This reminds her of the conversation between Jacob and his wife before he went back to London for the first time. Jacob told her that he was like an outsider. This time, she became an outsider in Jacob's life.
Felicity suddenly fell silent. She could feel the despair and pain in Anna's heart. But when did things start to go wrong? She tried to recall the clues. What was Jacob's original emotional clue like? How does Lan Li interpret and deduce?
Felicity looked up at lenley. "Do you think we still love each other?" This question is very strange. It is clear that felicity is one of the parties. Why should she ask "we"?
But lanli understood it immediately. Felicity asked Jacob and Anna, "yes, we are still in love, deeply in love." Lanli rubbed his temple again. Now he wants to hold a cigarette in his mouth and search his pocket, only to find that he is wearing a costume. Jacob has no habit of carrying cigarettes. "But sometimes love can't solve all problems."
"So, is it distance?" Asked felicity.
"No. Just life. " Blue Li once again answered, the light sadness and helplessness revealed, Jacob is not the same mood? I feel like I'm suffocating slowly, but I don't know what's depressing me.
There was no way he could stay in it any longer. It was horribly dull. "Drake, I need five minutes."
With that, Lan Li, regardless of the public's astonishment, quickly left the small apartment, sprinted downstairs, trotted along the street, walked out of a street, and finally found a coffee shop. After buying cigarettes in it, he stuffed one into his mouth, which calmed down a little; Of course, the cool fresh air in London has helped a lot.
He needs some fresh air.
Lower your head and let all the thoughts in your mind clear for a while. Intermittently, Jacob's pictures and memories will still emerge, but the feeling of suffocation is disappearing, which is a good thing.
Along the street, Langley is walking slowly. What he needs now is calm first, and then thinking. Take a deep breath, the cool and cool air in early autumn makes the whole person feel more comfortable.
Two figures appeared in the line of sight, standing on the downstairs of the apartment, looking left and right, as if looking for the sign of the house. Then they saw Lan Li, and Lan Li also saw them. His steps stopped. Far away, more than 20 steps away, he stood in the original place.
But the two did not mind, the petite, symmetrical woman raised her right hand, gently waved, with a gentle smile on her face, "long time no see, Lan Li."
